It's precisely this kind of American BULLSHIT that makes the rest of the world think Americans can be such total imbeciles sometimes. You don't hear any other country in the world forever launching into the old tired refrain, "we saved your asses twice"
Exactly what do you want the French to do? Suck your cock forever because you think they somehow owe you for WW2? No-one likes to be constantly reminded that you somehow owe them a debt and that as far as you are concerned, you can never repay it anyway. It just doesn't work that way.
I sometimes think that the French irritate Americans so much because the French think that they are better than you, and you think that you are better than the French. When they are not in awe in any way shape or form of the fact that you are American, you think them arrogant. How arrogant.
